Weeping Bones Review

I stumbled across a clip of Weeping Bones on TikTok, and the premise grabbed me enough that I had to look it up. It’s movie‑length, but only available on YouTube and the GoodShort App, and even though its low budget, I'm glad I watched it.

The story centers on Bella, a girl brutally murdered by a man seeking revenge against her detective father and coroner mother. Bella’s ghost watches helplessly as her parents investigate the case, unaware that the victim is their own daughter. As the story unfolds, you also see the complicated family dynamics: the sister who bullied her, the parents who never fully believed her, and the tension created when Bella was reunited with them at sixteen after being kidnapped as a child. They had already adopted another daughter, so her return wasn’t the fairy‑tale homecoming she deserved. I won’t spoil anything beyond that because despite its flaws, this story deserves to be experienced.

Now, let me be honest: The acting is mediocre, the plot has holes, and many scenes are unrealistic. As someone who writes murder mysteries myself, some things were glaring. A real detective would’ve recognized his own daughter. They delay blood tests. They don’t want to file a missing‑person report. And they never explain who kidnapped Bella years earlier.

But here’s the thing...none of that stopped me from bawling my eyes out through half the show. Watching Bella’s ghost hear her family dismiss her, even in death, hit me harder than I expected. And when the truth finally comes out, it’s genuinely emotional. The core story is powerful, and if you have an imagination, you can see past the low budget and appreciate the depth of what they were trying to do.

Overall, I’d give Weeping Bones four stars. The concept has so much potential, and I’d love to see it expanded into a full series with more backstory and stronger writing.

If you want to check it out for yourself, Weeping Bones is free on YouTube. If you’re anything like me, you might find yourself crying over a story that’s imperfect but unexpectedly moving.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Season 1 On YouTube!

Hasbro just debuted their brand new ‘My Little Pony: Equestria Girls’ series on YouTube on November 17^th.  In this series, the Equestria girls and their friends will experience all sorts of adventures including after school clubs, beach days, music festivals, theme parks, and Spring Break on a yacht. The cast of characters includes Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Each one will learn what it means to be superheroes while they take on the challenges of high school.

My daughter and I had a chance to preview the first few episodes of the series, and we just loved it. In this series, the classic pony characters have taken on more human attributes, but still possess the same magic as their pony counterparts. The characters are unique and the story-lines are entertaining.  The animation is colorful and well-done, and is certain to hold the attention of kids of all ages. The whole series transports you into a magical new world. It's a great series for younger girls, but with the fun fashion and teenage story-lines, tweens will also enjoy it. Even my seventeen-year-old kept looking up from her homework while we were watching it. My Little Pony was been around for generations, and this series shows that it just keeps getting better.

The best part about Equestria Girls is that it's completely free to watch on You Tube.  Check out the first episode, Sunset Shimmer's Fine Line, here or watch it below. Fans can expect more than 45 new, fun and exciting episodes from the series over the few few months. A new episode will be rolling out each Friday following the premiere.




To celebrate the new series, my kids were sent a fun collection of My Little Pony Swag. Most of these toys are geared toward the newly released film, but they definitely got  my daughter excited for the new series. She snuggled with a few of her favorite as we watched.

There were so many toys, we decided to share the pony love. Yesterday, we stopped by our local recreation center and donated some of these toys to Toys for Tots. My kids were so happy to share these treasures with other children in need. I'm sure they will make the holidays brighter some a special little girl.

Overall, this was a fun My Little Pony filled weekend for my family. We loved the new Equestria Girls series and are excited to see what comes next. We'll definitely be checking back on Friday to see the next episode. We also loved the toys which would make a great gift for fans of the series or the movie. Be sure to check out the Equestria Girls series on YouTube today. It's a great show to watch with the whole family, and gives you a chance to snuggle with your girls on a cold winter night.
